Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
It seems that the good ol' western virtue (?) of watching out for number one saved many lives during the 2011 tsunami. I always thought that the Japanese people's care for and consideration of others was a redeeming, respectable trait. Who'da thunk it would doom so many to a watery grave...
Interesting documentary. This is the first I've heard of tendenko and its usage in Kamaishi.
This is so real.
This is such an important lesson to be taught, and he's right, people here worry so much about their loved ones that it's totally foreseeable that whole families died together....
I'm terribly saddened watching this while remembering the story of the elementary children who were made to wait on their school ground for 30 minutes after the earthquake, many of whom lost their lives.
